Honda Introduces CBR250R Repsol Racing Replica

CBR250R may not be the most appealing quarter liter motorcycle of India currently. The blame goes more into the brand than the motorcycle as a new generation motorcycle has been out in the international market from a long time. Honda has brought CBR250R Repsol Racing Replica to the country, which is practically nothing more than a new livery to the aged motorcycle. The motorcycle will be sold in two trims, Dani Pedrosa 26 and Marc Márquez 93.
